Help Trying To Find Hard Parts!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**BAD4X4** · 04-19-2007, 08:35 AM

I posted an ad on the parts board for the carpet stainless and the inside rear panels. Also a single wall top in the northwest. As you can tell, no luck! Am I wasteing my time looking for these things? Thanx for the help, Dana

If you get desperate and have to buy new side panels, here's a place to get them, but they sure are expensive.

Carpet strips and side panels will be difficult to find. I've only seen a couple of each come up forsale on the board in the past. I believe it was LIVRAT who had a top for sale a while back. I'm not sure if he still has it. Also, check with WES at Classicheartbeat.com and PICKMUP as they both seem to find deals in the northwest on a regular basis.

If you aren't going for stock, you can make your own rear side panels. RodDoors also makes "custom" side panels, but you'll need to take a mortgage out on your house to pay for them.

Brothers has the rear side panels for $460. http://www.brothersonlinestore.com/p...number=BRPS200

Maybe specify if you want a single wall or double wall top also to make things easier.
Here is a link for a top:

It takes time and lots of looking to find those hard to find pieces. It took me about 6 months to find the roll bar I wanted, so keep trying.
I made my side panels out of stanless steel as that was the look I wanted.
My top crome strips that hold the side panels will be up for sale in the next month or 2 as I do not need them. Not sure right now what I want to ask for them as they are in really good shape and are pretty hard to find.

Vince I did specify what top I wanted, a single wall. Thanx everyone for the feed back. Dana

**BAD4X4** · 04-22-2007, 02:11 AM

jamie that sounds like a good trade to me.Just got in from working on the blazer. Man I wonder what some people think when they half/ass everything in life!!! I found alot more problems with the blaze today. No big deal.

**special-K** · 04-22-2007, 08:16 AM

That`s how my`71 was.I was impressed with all the fresh work on it,so I bought it.The new parts were worth the asking prices.Thing was,once I got it home I had to undo 1/2 of it and put it back right.It had a fresh healthy-built motor,but leaked all over.It was clean when I bought it.Drove it home and every gasket was seeping.The torquer was a 327-type and there was no venting in the VCs.I put a set with breathers,cleaned it,and was good to go.It was a 3spd and when I wound it out getting out on the hiway in second,going to 3rd,the whole truck went from pullin`left to going right.The rear u-bolts were loose on the new lift kit,real loose,like cocked when I got home.That was just the beginning...
If I ever get over to my`70 CST parts Blazer I`ll check for the carpet strip condition.
